Well, during practice laps before my race last night, I got T-boned by a RC18T and it snapped the front shock tower. Ordered the CAW towers today.......and what really is crummy, I really had the car dialed in.

Busted my front a couple of days ago and can't get a replacement locally. I'm looking at getting some Carbon ones made and hopefully get a standard set soon...

Busted my front three weeks a go... still waiting for spearpart or hop up to arrive to lockal dealer. Not happy.

Btw. When asked him 3weeks a go "should i strad building my own part" the answer was "dont bother, it`ll take trhee days". How stubid was i?

I would suggest getting the CAW towers ... talk about dialed in ... the towers not flexing makes one heck of a big difference and the body doesnt snag on the fornt shock tower any more ... so it comes off nice and smooth . ;)

Yea, but how heavy is it compared to the stock shock tower.

...i dont have the exact numbers but they arent THAT much heavier, and start filling up some of your various screws with titanium and you wont notice it all...What you WILL notice is the HUGELY improved ride...It changes the whole attitude of the machine...

But you can find photos only of the front tower... they are for sure planning also a rear tower

$8.50 Buy It Now on ebay. I want the CAW Chassis and towers but $119.00 seems a little high. I might wait and see if someone comes out with Titanium parts.

The auction you reported is only for front tower... I wasn't able to find an auction for rear tower made by the same manufacturer... :(
CAW sells front+rear in one package... only "silver" version now, waiting for coloured ones

Just came back from the LHS....they had the 3Racing Front shock towers in stock and they look pretty good. I should be picking up a set when the rears are available too.

If CAW's stuff were available on this side of the globe, I would consider them too. :p

:D
